Dana White Talks
Conor McGregor & more!Dana White recently spoke to UFC.com about
the contenders in the UFC Featherweight Division. Here is what he had to
say… “Especially with all the excitement in that division with Conor
McGregor, Cub Swanson and Frankie Edgar – that division is so exciting that
people are talking about freaking Nik Lentz and Dennis Bermudez. I told Cub
and Frankie, ‘Don’t worry about anything you hear with all the Conor
McGregor talk and all the other stuff. You worry about Cub Swanson and you
worry about Frankie Edgar.’ Believe me, the fact that people are arguing
over who should get a title shot in the 145-pound division isn’t a bad
thing. It’s a good thing.”

Ildemar Alcantara recently spoke about his fight at UFC on F/X 7, where his brother Yuri will also fight. Check out the highlights:

On getting into MMA because he was smaller than his brother: "I started martial arts exactly for that reason. He used to hit me a lot."

On his plans to keep the fight a standing one: "Unless it's too dangerous, at which point I might go for a takedown."

On his prediction for the fight: "I am a humble country guy from a very small town in Brazil. I've arrived at the UFC now. I like to put on a show. I like to fight hard and finish fast. Someone is getting knocked out in the first round."
